With 365 days of sun and humidity, everything from Nescafe, teh ais (milk tea), fresh fruit juice, carbonated drinks are usually served on ice. However, there is one all time favourite drink that any home in Malaysia has to have, chilled in a bottle ready to serve on a hot sunny day. When you go to a stall, apart from plain water, the next cheapest drink to order will be air sirap. You can’t go wrong with this drink when you place an order. It goes well with everything. If you order a plate of nasi lemak, chicken rice, satay, economic rice, char kuey teow, char siew, bak kut teh, sup kambing… the best addition to your meal will be air sirap.
